There is no disdain for backwards compatibility. This has always been
one of the biggest concerns of the Perl 6 development team. That is
why Ponie is being developed with the intention that, in the long run,
future releases of Perl 5 will run on Parrot. Also, Larry has taken
some time to start working on a Perl 5 to Perl 6 converter. Rather
than translating, he's doing it at the bytecode level. A huge amount
of effort is being exerted to ensure that Perl 5 is still supported
either via translation or being run directly.

Since there was a helpful discussion some time ago on USB keyboards and mice
for pair programming that was not specific to perl, I wanted to solicit the
group for information on network software (also not specific to perl).

I just set up openVPN on my openwrt/WRT54G router for pair programming with
a headset and skype.

(1) Can any point me to the documentation on sharing desktops on windows? I
need to create accounts on Win2003 XP Server. When I created an account
belonging only to the user group, my partner could not log in. He was
receiving some error message about not being permitted to log in
interactively. However, when I added the administrator group (reluctantly)
to his account, he could log in. Is there a tutorial somewhere on the web
for creating user accounts in windows for use with remote desktop logins on
VPNs?

(2) How do I share my remote desktop setting with a programming pair
partner?

(3) What about sharing sessions when I'm booted with linux? I think there is
a vnc program out there, but I don't know how to use it. I'll need to learn
how to create accounts and share linux desktops with remote VPN users. Is
there a tutorial on this?

(4) Are video cams very helpful for pair programming?

It seems that this kind of knowledge would be very common for pair
programmers.

Thanks,

Siegfried
